Gugudan, also stylized as gu9udan or gx9, is a South Korean girl group under Jellyfish Entertainment (home to VIXX and VERIVERY) formed in 2016. The group consists of Mimi, Hana, Haebin, Nayoung, Sejeong, Sally, Soyee and Mina. Hyeyeon announced her departure from Gugudan on October 25, 2018 but is still affiliated with Jellyfish Entertainment. Gugudan debuted on June 28, with a live showcase broadcast on V Live. They have been nominated for various awards and won 'Performance Award' in the 2017 Soribada Best K-Music Awards, as well as '2017 Rising Star Award' and '2018 New Wave Award' at Asia Artist Awards

Gugudan Meaning and Concept: The literal translation of gugudan is 'multiplication table'. Jellyfish explained that the idea behind it is '9 girls with 9 different charms', each member was also assigned a number. Gugudan has a 'theatrical' concept, each comeback is a new 'Act' for Gugudan Theatre and they are all based around specific fairy-tales, movies or theatre. For example, their debut album was 'Act 1, the Little Mermaid'. This allows them to explore many different musical and visual styles.

OGUOGU, the first subunit of gugudan, is made up of the two youngest members Mina and Hyeyeon. The name was created using the pronunciation of their individual numbers together (Hyeyeon 5, Mina 9, so 5959 is oguogu).

Gugudan's second subunit debuted on July 10, 2018 with the self titled single album SEMINA. This was created using the first syllables of the members names. The group originally auditioned for Produce 101 together and the musical style and colours chosen to represent them in this album are a reference to that performance.

I am so excited for their latest comeback but no-one seems to be talking about them here so I decided I'm gonna stop being a silent reader and make an account (or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place, that seems plausible)

This time they are going for a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme and it looks so good already. It sounds like its gonna be completely different but still have a similar vibe to A Girl Like Me and Ice Chu which were both freaking awesome.

Release Scheduler, I can't wait for the MV teaser.

And I think that's most of it so far.

I hope you can see why I'm so excited, the only downside is that Soyee won't be there but at least she is taking care of herself. They have also announced a V Live showcase (Nov 8th at 8pm, I think) which I will def be tuning in for.
